The Editorial Board is pleased to announce the publication of the first issue of RED - Revista Estud(i)os de Dança.
This journal has been under preparation for almost three years. It is the culmination of the expansion of INET-md at the Faculty of Human Kinetics and the purpose of disseminating the research we develop in dance, in dialogue with cultural studies, the body and digital technologies, education, leisure and recreation, improvisation, choreographic composition and social inclusion, of extending it to other academic fields, and of bringing together an increasingly wider community of interested readers.
Thus is born the Estud(i)os de Dança journal.
